in a small Kansas town. The part-time reverend and full-time crook pitches a tent and invites the locals to a revival. The sheriff, a woman named Marla McGowan, is determined to stop Jonas from separating the townspeople from their money, and Jonas' real challenge
arises when he meets the sheriff and her son, whose love forces an ultimate cynic to take a real leap of faith.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
